Of the known neutralizing antigenic sites of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), site 1 or A, formed in part by the G–H loop of VP1, has historically been considered immunodominant because of evidence implicating its importance in the induction of a protective immune response. However, no systematic study has been done to determine the relative importance of the various specificities of antibodies against the known neutralizing antigenic sites of FMDV in the polyclonal immune response of a natural host after vaccination. In this report, we have adopted a monoclonal antibody-based competition ELISA and used antibodies specific to sites 1, 2 and 3 to provide some insight into this issue. Following vaccination of the three main target species, cattle, pigs and sheep, with an O1 serotype strain, results indicate that none of these three antigenic sites can be considered immunodominant in a polyclonal serum. Interestingly, pigs did not respond to epitopes on the carboxy terminus end of VP1 as efficiently as the ruminant species. In addition to the known sites, other as yet undefined sites might also be important in the induction of a protective immune response. Possible implications for the design of new vaccine strategies for foot-and-mouth disease are discussed.

ABSTRACT Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is the causative agent of a highly contagious vesicular disease of cloven-hoofed animals. In the present study we use FMDV serotype C infection of swine to determine, by analytical techniques, the direct ex vivo visualization of virus-infected immune cells during the first 17 days of infection. We report, for the first time, that FMDV C-S8c1 can infect T and B cells at short periods of time postinoculation, corresponding with the peak of the viremia. There is a significant lymphopenia that involves CD3+ CD4− CD8+/−, CD3+ CD4− CD8+Tc, and CD3+ CD4+ CD8+ memory Th but not CD3+ CD4+ CD8− naïve Th lymphocytes. In addition, a profound depletion of the vast majority of peripheral T cells in lymph nodes and spleen is observed. This selective depletion of T cells is not due mainly to in situ death via apoptosis as visualized by the terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique. Thus, early infection of T cells by FMDV may be the main cause of the observed T-cell depletion. Importantly, this lack of T cells is reflected in a reduced response to mitogen activation, which in many cases is totally eliminated. These data suggest a mechanism by which the virus causes a transient immunosuppression, subvert the immune systems, and spreads. These results have important implications for our understanding of early events in the development of a robust immune response against FMDV.
